Show your allegiance to your favourite website by voting for RA in the prestigious Webby Awards recognising outstanding Internet stuff.
The Webby Awards are the Internet's most respected trophies that have been honouring the best of the web for twelve years. In fact, they're often billed as the Oscars of the Internet. Think Casablanca not A Beautiful Mind. This year the Webby's received almost 10,000 entries from over 60 countries worldwide, which were whittled down to just five nominees by the Awards' Academy members in each of a hundred categories.
And guess what? For the first time ever, RA was selected as one of the final five nominees in the Music category alongside whizzbang sites from the BBC, Pink Floyd and other websites with bags of cash. Click here to see the full list of nominees.
The final winners will be decided by the panel of judges that includes web-savvy celebs like David Bowie, Miramax's Harvey Weinstein, Simpsons creator Matt Groening plus proper geeks like Vinton Cerf—he's the dude that invented the Internet—and top cats from companies like RealNetworks.
There's also a People's Voice award, and this is where you can help RA get over the line by casting a vote for our humble website. It only takes a few minutes to register and vote in the Webby Awards, so why not show your allegiance to your fave website, huh? The website with the most votes wins so feel free to spread the word.
The Webby Awards will be announced on May 6, 2008. If we win, you'll be the first to know!
